I had a group of buddies come down to my place in Port O for a duck hunt over the weekend. Made these beans per the recipe, and they were a hit! After getting them started, I put em in a Crock Pot. Sure was nice coming back to a piping hot bowl o' beans after the afternoon hunt. Thanks B-1.

I did up a pot of these for a hunt I was helping with after Thanksgiving. I use jalapeños, but I don't cut them, just throw them in whole. You get great flavor that way without the heat. Adults and kids alike raved out the beans.

Made B1's recipe today w my parents and in-laws. Spent way too dadgum long outside today. The first chance to do some outside projects in a few months came on the coldest day in a decade, but I got them all done and was rewarded with some delicious beans. We had them w a pot roast and rolls. Dipping the roles in the bean juice was probably the best part!!!

Or at least my bean redipe does. I've started to sautee the serranos along with the onion and bacon (lightly), and it gives it a different flavor. Leaving/taking the seeds out can also help control some of the heat while maintaining the flavor.

That's a tough question. How old? Do they eat chips and hot sauce yet? Jalapenos or serranos can vary in heat. For young children I would say no more thn 1 and see how it goes. U can add heat but can't take it out.

I've made B-1's recipe about a dozen times or so since he started this thread and people never stop raving about them. I've literally had friends tell me they'd bring all the beer and/or bbq if I just bring some of those awesome beans. I use a lot more bacon, get it frying in the pot then add the onion and jalapenoes. I use four jalapenoes and remove the seeds in two of them. I also use an entire bunch of cilantro. Getting the jalapenoes sauteed early takes a lot of the heat out and both of my young boys will attack these beans like nothing else. They love them.

sittin near the shore of Canyon Lake right now enjoying the third pot of these I've ever cooked. They get better each time. Great when you don't have time to soak overnight. A few shots of tequila help too. Thanks for sharing!

With a couple slight modifications for fat, this has become a regular lunch for me. Granted, my office mate is back now, so I might have to cut back a bit. Though she does tolerate the beans better than cabbage and greens.

We made these this weekend. I still prefer beens not from a can but the recipe is pretty good for some quick beans. We made a half-recipe and added a jalapeno (de-seaded) along with the serranos (with seeds).
